How EP Plus Tablet works
EP Plus Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Eperisone and Paracetamol, which relieve pain and relax the muscles. Eperisone is a muscle relaxant. It works by acting on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasms. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain and fever.
